This was…majestic. Right off the bat, literally, you knew it was a kill shot, and it sent Assoc. Justice Bart O’Kavanaugh’s second-favourite team (‘BEER! BEER! BEER! BEER!’) to a, perhaps, costly home defeat. Take a look at the kill shot for yourself. This is…October.

Time only for the Mountain now, and all races but the fifth are ready to have at least a little parimutuel excitement explode somewhere on the toteboard — win, place or show or, if you have fortune, all three. Wild. Again, Race 5 is the exception, with the top BestLine issue having a 30.5pc probability of winning, and again it’s not the morning line fave.
Meantime, take a long gander at that majestic kill shot homerun again. Jus-tin Tur-ner…clap-clap-CLAPCLAPCLAP!
